There have been a few notable surprises for the NHL in the 2014-2015 season, such as the mumps and the emergence of the Nashville Predators as a Western Conference powerhouse.

If Calgary Flames head coach Bob Hartley is going to get consideration for the Jack Adams award for coach of the year, its not because he’s a tactical genius, or because of his line management.
